Approximately 99% of FDR-significant genes from RNA amplified samples were in the same direction as those from SoLo libraries, of which 92% were marginally significant (p<0.05) ( Figure 4—figure supplement 2 ; Supplementary file 1 —Table S2).
Bdnf-e1 -/- virgins also showed a reduced maternal index ( Figure 1m ; Mann Whitney, U = 28.5, p=0.0092) and a strong trend for an elevated abnormal parenting index ( Figure 1n ; Mann Whitney, U = 39, p=0.0529) compared to WT virgins, which indicates fewer nurturing behaviors such as licking, carrying, and crouching and more harmful behaviors such as kicking, biting, and neglect.
